Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Perfect for impressive first dates if they're into scene-y spots - glamorous atmosphere and Instagram-worthy presentations make great conversation starters, but gets loud after 9pm
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weeknights possible with 30-45 min wait, weekends nearly impossible after 7pm - try bar seating or come before 6pm
Is it kid-friendly? Better for teens than young kids - the nightclub vibe after 8pm isn't ideal for families, but early dinner works
Best For
Better for: The see-and-be-seen crowd who want dinner to transition into nightlife - more party atmosphere than traditional sushi spots
Skip if: You want authentic edo-mae sushi or quiet conversation - try Sushi Ginza Onodera for traditional or Matsuhisa for quieter upscale
